How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
At the bottom of Market Street in Driver: San Francisco, the Ferry Building's clock tower rises over the waterfront, with palm trees on the plaza in front. A landmark comparison by YouTuber VortexStory sets the game's version beside the real building.
The real place
The Ferry Building opened in 1898, and its 75-metre clock tower was modelled on the Giralda bell tower in Seville. Before the bridges were built it was one of the busiest passenger terminals in the world; since 2003 its long hall has been a food market.
Visiting
Come on a Saturday morning for the farmers market around the building, then walk through the marketplace hall. Ferries to Sausalito and across the bay still leave from the piers behind it.
